Across time and tradition, the Halls of Amenti have been regarded as places of mystery – described in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, spoken of in esoteric mystery schools, and hinted at in the architecture beneath the Great Sphinx. But what if these halls were not tombs of the dead, but temples dedicated to conscious resurrection – designed not just to house bodies, but to return them to seed pattern at will for resurrection?
From my own mystical experience – what I’ve come to call The State in the Fire – I recognize that the true purpose of such places is not just symbolic record keeping, but scientific. In alignment with the cosmology of Walter Russell, I propose that the Halls of Amenti were wavefield recentering chambers: technologies to support conscious sense withdrawal, harmonic stillness, and voluntary return to seed.
The State in the Fire
In the middle of the night on October 29, 2009, I awoke to a house fire. In the split second preceding profound inner surrender, my own Voice within said clearly: “You don’t have to be here for this.” As I agreed, I experienced a conscious departure from my body and all sensory awareness. I visually witnessed and “felt” the opposed spiralling waveforms of the body collapsing into their center. As they did, I became one with the sun, then the black hole, then stood bodiless in what felt like a vast circular hall. Wholly integrated by an indescribable gratitude for my life, I gazed my consciousness upwards – and all extra sensory perception dissolved into a pure interchange of qualitative ecstasy. I knew only ecstasy becoming ecstasy. Time ceased and there was no memory of a separate identity. And yet, my Self wholly remained.
When consciousness returned to sensory perception, my body was sitting safely with loved ones in our vehicle. I had only flashes of memory of the body collecting up our child and the dogs and leaving the house – but the experience of full return was vivid. My brain was entirely different, as though old neural pathways had been erased, replaced with new, generative potential. It felt unmistakably like resurrection – not a metaphor, but an actual withdrawal and re-patterning of my wavefield. A conscious refolding and unfolding from the zero point.
Walter Russell’s work provided the language for what I experienced. His framework of how Magnetic Light commands and controls speed-time and power-time articulates what ancient traditions preserved in mystery and metaphor. Speed-time and power-time will be further defined in a subsequent post: The Science of Surrender.
Russell taught that man is not merely a body, but a divine creator endowed with the ability to consciously command wave motion. When one voluntarily enters the stillness that centers the motion, one no longer needs to wait for the body to die over time. One may willingly return to seed through conscious withdrawal of the senses. Paramhansa Yogananda is an example, at minimum, of voluntary refolding. And Russell’s body was born and died on the same date – likely to demonstrate the capacity to command and control the wave.
In a quote that directly addresses resurrection, Russell writes:
“To control life is to command the wave. To command the wave, one must first become the stillness that centers it.”
The Halls of Amenti, when seen in this light, were likely constructed as literal portals of controlled resurrection. These chambers were not built for death, but for intentional dissolution of form – acoustically, magnetically, and harmonically tuned to cancel out the senses, slow all perception, and facilitate re-centering of the Mind in Source. They allowed the initiate to withdraw from the illusion of motion and collapse the body into its seed pattern. From there, the soul could refold from a different point in space according to its desire.
This is echoed in the Emerald Tablets, where Thoth writes:
“Deep in the Earth’s heart lie the Halls of Amenti, far beneath the islands of sunken Atlantis. Halls of the dead and halls of the living, bathed in the fire of the infinite All.”
Walter Russell’s teachings, far from mythic speculation, offer the mechanics to support this. He describes the cycle of life and death as an unfolding and refolding of wave fields – effects of motion, governed by stillness. He also explains that when the body passes, it typically undergoes a reverse simulation of life – a period equal in time to its previous existence, but “lived” in reverse. This is the return-to-seed through what he calls the rest period of the wave. Identity projected into the sense of separation from Source experiences the sense-based forward and backward periodicities of the wave “split” into alternating sequence.
But in the mystical experience I underwent – and what initiates of the Halls of Amenti may have also practiced – the return to Stillness happens in consciousness, not through unconscious process. Instead of waiting the same length of years “lived” to fade into seed, identification with the radiative half (speed time) is willed to collapse in an instant, which speeds up power time centred by renewed desire for expression. This acceleration is made possible through surrender of association with speed time and alignment with the stillness that centre’s both. This is the scientific basis of resurrection.
What I experienced also aligns with teachings from Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., which emphasizes that souls consciously choose their incarnations and the timing of their transitions, and with ancient Hindu teachings about time dilation. In the Bhagavata Purana, for instance, King Kakudmi visits Brahma for what seems like minutes, but returns to Earth to find millions of years have passed – illustrating the nonlinearity of time at different vibratory states.
Parallel Wisdom from East and West
The Bhagavad Gita teaches that surrender to the Divine obliterates past bondage instantly:
“The moment the soul surrenders to God, its account of sinful deeds in endless past lifetimes is destroyed by His grace.” – Bhagavad Gita 18.62
“For the soul there is never birth nor death… having once been, does he never cease to be.” – Bhagavad Gita 2.22
Letting go of identification with the body, memory, and sense of motion – all of it – brings one directly back to the awareness of the still center.
Thoth echoes this in the Emerald Tablets:
“Free thou thy soul from its bondage; know that the soul must be free.”
“Only he who has conquered the wheel of life may rest in the Halls of Amenti.”
When we view resurrection not as religious miracle but as the conscious repatterning of the human wavefield, all of these traditions begin to converge.
To summarize: the Halls of Amenti structures were not built to be chambers of death, but temples of transfiguration. Their purpose was to provide the environment where the being could fully withdraw from the senses, enter the stillness of the interchanging point, and re-pattern the body at will. And through my own lived resurrection during the State in the fire, I discovered this isn’t just possible – it’s a knowable science, one that can be remembered, practiced, and eventually mastered.
As Russell wrote:
“Man must know that his Power lies in the stillness of his centering Self and not in the motion by means of which he manifests that stillness.”
As we cease projecting the idea of death and embrace knowledge of eternal Life, the age of passive decay is giving way to the age of conscious re-creation. The science of the soul is not lost – it’s awakening again, in those willing to surrender to the Inner Voice from the centering Stillness.
